... Cafe Central and Frank's East Boulevard Bar & Grill. Easy enough.
East Boulevard Bar and Grill isn't necessarily new, but it is just opening. Once located closer to Freedom Park, East Boulevard will now be on the busier block of Dilworth in Latta Pavilion (where Quiznos and Super Suppers use to be).
New location .... new hours and new menu. Well, additional items ... which will be available during their new later hours. Their homemade bar fare and entrees will be available until 2 a.m. - not to mention a full bar. They've completely remodeled the space — there is no evidence of a Quiznos or Super Suppers even being there, and they've combined the two spaces and added cool garage door style windows, which will keep the bar-slash-grill feel like an indoor patio.
Frank will be opening the new East Boulevard Bar & Grill soon. Very, very soon ... they're hoping next week if the construction is finished (but we all know how that goes).
And Cafe Central is having their rooftop: The View at Cafe Central grand opening party on Tuesday, Oct. 6 with live music from Big Octave. This Plaza Midwood bar has quite the view of the city … one that could challenge that of Loft 1523 in Elizabeth. The spot are open late and serve brunch on Sunday (note to those of you waiting for over an hour for a table at Zada Janes).
Cason-Point: Two cool neighborhoods just got two new cool neighborhood bars.
The best display of tits and ass isn’t at Uptown Cabaret... it’s at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. And by "Tits and Ass" I’m referring to a musical number within the Broadway play A Chorus Line, which is currently playing in Charlotte and will be thru Oct. 4.
The Blumenthal Performing Arts Center’s Broadway Light Series production of A Chorus Line opened Tuesday night. A Chorus Line is about, well, a Chorus Line and the audition-slash-interview process of. It was an artistic and hilarious display of the reality of entertainment. That’s all I’m going to say, I am not a spoiler – go see it yourself. You can buy tickets here
But I will tell you that there’s no intermission so be sure to pee before the play.
The cast after party was at Sonoma, tucked within Founders Hall. The bar is so hidden I didn’t even know it was there. It’s the perfect place for the bankers to come down from their tower and have a cocktail after work … or at lunch. There I got to see Tits and Ass … or the singer of the song rather, Val played by actress Mindy Dougherty and the Vicodin popping vixen Shelia played by Emily Fletcher. I also got to meet Charlottean Sterling Masters who played the role of Kristine.
So rather you're looking for a musical production, or tits and ass ... you can find it on the Chorus Line.
